Given
- f(n) values for n=1,2,3,4
- possible candidates for the function
Solution:
Method: Evaluate some of the values, for each function. A function with ANY value not matching the given f(n) values will be rejected.
N=1, f(n)=4
f(1)=4-3(1-1)=4
f(1)=4+3^(1+1)=4+3^2=4+9=13 ≠ 4 [rejected]
f(1)=4(3^(n-1))=4(3^0)=4
f(1)=3(4^(n-1))=3(4^0)=3*1=3 [rejected]
N=2, f(n)=12
f(1)=4-3(2-1)=4-3(1)=1 ≠ 12 [rejected]
[rejected]
f(1)=4(3^(2-1)=4*3^1=4*3=12
[rejected]
Will need to check one more to be sure
N=3, f(n)=3
[rejected]
[rejected]
f(3)=4(3^(n-1))=4(3^(3-1))=4(3^2)=4*9=36 [Good]
[rejected]
Solution: f(n)=4(3^(n-1))
• 56 = 16
so 16 pizzas are pepperoni
19 pizzas are cheese
And the rest is Veggie
So now add 16 and 19 which is 35
Now subtract that from 50 which is 15
So 15 pizzas were Veggie pizzas
Okay, to find length CE, your going to know the value of <em>x</em>. Length BC + CE = BD + DE.
3x+47+x+26=27+x+10
Simplify the equation to get
4x+73=37+x
you can choose one of four ways to continue, but I will choose to subtract x
3x+73=37
Subtract 73 from both sides of the equal sign
3x=-36
divide by 3 on both sides of the equal sign to get the value of x
x=-12
Now, plug in -12 for x in length CE to get -12+26=14
Answer:
31 units
Step-by-step explanation:
When the figure is a parallelogram, opposite sides have the same measure:
AD = BC
3x +7 = 5x -9 . . . . . . substitute given expressions
16 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . . add 9-3x
8 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
Use this value of x in the expression for AD to find its required length:
AD = 3(8) +7 = 24 +7
AD = 31 . . . . units
The length of segment AD must be 31 units for ABCD to be a parallelogram.
